Part 8/10:
The moment arrived—despite the chaos, the skilled first officer brought their crippled aircraft in for a landing, touching down safely with the engines roaring in reverse thrust. All aboard breathed a sigh of relief as the aircraft came to a halt, but questions remained. What caused such a catastrophic power loss?

The success of the landing owed much to the skill of the pilots, who maintained calm under pressure.
